Health Sciences Graduate StudiesMcMaster University has an outstanding national and international reputation as one of the most successful research-intensive universities. Our Graduate Programs in Health Sciences form a key component of this strength, offering excellent training and experiences in health-related research fields. Health Sciences graduate students are immersed in a culture of collaboration and inter-professional learning. The diverse opportunities in our Master’s and Doctoral programs allow students to develop the important professional skills that become the foundation for future career successes and life-long learning. Our highly-talented faculty and postdoctoral fellows are from many different departments and disciplines in the University, including the teaching hospitals in Hamilton, associated research institutes and centers, and multidisciplinary training programs, offered in collaboration with other Faculties. Our programs embrace a culture of innovation, collaboration, excellence in mentorship, education and research that enables graduate students to reach their maximum potential. We invite you to explore the many opportunities available within our graduate programs.

BIOCHEMISTRY Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences offers leading-edge training at the MSc, PhD and MD/PhD levels. Our program is internationally recognized and research-intensive in a variety of scientific disciplines including stem cells and cancer research; cell and human biology; microbiology and infectious diseases; and structural biology. The graduate experience in our Department is defined by a world-class experience in a research laboratory, the synthesis of skills in experimental design, interpretation, and scientific communication, and strong mentorship from researchers in the biomedical sciences. At the heart of our program are 125 graduate students working in labs on the McMaster campus and affiliated hospitals and research institutes across the city. Our program is supported by world-class research infrastructure, allowing students to conduct research that is creative and original with unparalleled depth of discovery.

BIOMEDICAL DISCOVERY AND COMMERCIALIZATION The Master of Biomedical Discovery and Commercialization program is a one-year course-based Master’s that provides students with the scientific and technical knowledge and understanding that underlies breakthrough discoveries in the biomedical sciences and drug discovery. The program also provides an understanding of business fundamentals that are necessary to market such discoveries. One of the most important features of the program, the integration of business and science, is achieved through the Team Project, Scholarly Paper and two M.B.A. level Business courses. Experiential learning is obtained through a four to eight-month community internship that provides students with an opportunity for creative exploration of Biomedical Research and Commercialization. The internship also provides students with an invaluable opportunity to expand their professional network and to develop and refine a sound career plan.

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING McMaster University’s Faculties of Engineering and Health Sciences have been brought together to create a unique research and training program under the umbrella of the School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME). Improved healthcare and outcomes grounded in bioengineering require new approaches emphasizing integration and collaboration among traditional research areas. The School provides a unique collaborative environment that leverages our existing expertise in medical sciences and engineering, and links current and emerging areas of molecular, medical and bioengineering research.

CHEMICAL BIOLOGYChemical biology involves the use of small molecules to affect living systems. Understanding the resultant interactions necessitates a multi-disciplinary approach that incorporates everything from synthetic and analytical chemistry to structural and molecular biology. Students are provided with research intensive, multidisciplinary training that at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry and biology, with a primary emphasis on understanding how the chemical biology approach can be used to solve complex biological problems such as the mechanisms of disease, the regulation of biological pathways and the roles of different biomolecules in controlling cellular function (or dysfunction).

CHILD LIFE AND PEDIATRIC PSYCHOSOCIAL CAREThe Master’s of Science in Child Life and Pediatric Psychosocial Care is the first program of its kind in Canada. It is a professional and practice-focused graduate degree offered through a blended delivery of online and in-class formats. Students will learn about pediatric psychosocial assessment, critically examine ethical issues, and apply theoretical knowledge and patient and family-centred care principles to diverse pediatric clinical settings. Two streams are offered: Stream 1 provides academic and clinical training (2 internships) to prepare students with knowledge, clinical skills, and professional behaviours in their eligibility to certify and practice as entry-level child life specialists. Stream 2 provides practicing health professionals with advanced practice skills in pediatric psychosocial care, in a course-based format.

CLINICAL BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCESThe Clinical Behavioural Sciences Program is a Health Sciences, Graduate Diploma Program. The courses instructors are Faculty from the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences. The Faculty are experienced clinicians with expertise in providing advanced training to professionals looking to enhance their skills. The program is designed for professionals who are working in the health services field. Courses are developed for adult learners and have an interprofessional small group approach. The emphasis of the program is not on new credentials or accreditation but on enhanced knowledge and skills. The Program consists of formal teaching and clinical supervision in a number of course areas. Students from a variety of professional backgrounds, agencies, and hospitals study in the Program, attending classes on a part-time basis while they continue in their usual employment.

Students may choose to apply as a post degree student to complete a selected course, or diploma completion.


21

GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY (GDCE)A unique option in Canada, the Graduate Diploma in Clinical Epidemiology (GDCE) is a completely online delivered program, consisting of a harmonized package of four part-time courses that cover core topics of clinical epidemiology. GDCE builds on the strengths of the internationally respected Health Research Methods (HRM) graduate program. GDCE courses are recognized as equivalent to HRM courses on the same topics and are also taught by faculty members in the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact, a premier destination for graduate study and research in clinical epidemiology. GDCE is ideal for applicants with an interest in clinical epidemiology training without the commitment of an entire MSc degree, and with the flexibility to combine study with work without the need to attend classes on campus. Graduates will gain foundational knowledge in the tenets of evidence-based medicine and a skill set applicable in clinical, policy, management, and research settings. At GDCE completion a formal graduate diploma is awarded.

CLINICIAN INVESTIGATOR PROGRAM (CIP)The Clinician Investigator Program is a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada Program that is designed to help train clinician investigators, and takes a minimum of 2 years to complete. Trainees are physicians who are in, or have recently completed, a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons accredited Clinical Residency Program and are also enrolled in a Faculty of Health Sciences Graduate Program, which can be a MSc or PhD. The Clinician Investigator Program supplements the research training provided by the Graduate Programs through monthly academic sessions, presented by established Clinician Investigators, that focus on topics of particular relevance to clinicians who plan to spend a large proportion of their time (e.g. 50 -75%) doing research. McMaster’s Clinician Investigator Program, which is one of the largest in Canada, currently has over twenty trainees. The trainees have a broad range of clinical training (e.g. Surgery, Psychiatry; Internal Medicine; Oncology; Pediatrics) and are enrolled in a number of Graduate Programs (e.g. Health Research Methodology; Medical Sciences; Health Science Education; Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences).

eHEALTHThe MSc eHealth degree is truly interdisciplinary and based on a partnership among the Faculties of Health Sciences (Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact) and Engineering, and the DeGroote School of Business (Information Systems area). The objective of the program is to produce Masters level graduates with high quality training and experience in the broad interdisciplinary area that spans eHealth. The program has a full-time course-based and full-time thesis-based stream as well as a course-based part-time option. The program of study emphasizes industry relevant academic research and development. Full-time students are on campus for two semesters taking courses and then they move to an 8-month internship experience. They then return for one or two semesters to complete outstanding courses and a scholarly paper or a thesis. This training provides them with unique expertise in enabling technologies that will contribute to advances in healthcare, especially at the system level.


22

GLOBAL HEALTHThe Master of Science in Global Health – an innovative program that prepares graduates for careers in a globalized world – received the 2015 Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) Panorama Award for Outstanding International Education Program (Academic category). Developed in partnership with Maastricht University in the Netherlands, the program is collaborative and interdisciplinary, integrating education and research from the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Faculty of Social Sciences and the DeGroote School of Business, and linking with partner universities in India and Norway. The program’s curriculum provides students with the experience and skills that a global marketplace demands: collaboration, cross-cultural intuition, self-management, accountability, and incisive decision-making in an international context. Students are exposed to global perspectives and gain hands-on field experience in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Faculty members teach and supervise from across the world, and an international advisory board of global health experts provides strategic direction.
